LGBTT* Awareness Workshops

The LGBTT* Initiative provides educational opportunities and resources to build communication, understanding and respect for diversity throughout the College.

Our LGBTT* Awareness Workshops offer an opportunity to students to broaden their understanding of sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression, as well as learn how to identify discriminatory assumptions from a personal, social and cultural framework.

Some of the learning components included in the workshop are:

LGBTT* definitions, terminology, culture and history

Differences and intersections between sex, gender and sexual orientation

Impacts of LGBTT* myths and stereotypes

Homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and heterosexism

Issues and barriers faced by LGBTT* individuals

Tools, strategies, and recommendations for affirming change

Workshop content can be adapted to specific students’ learning needs and professional field.
